It's an H89 head. Small oval, closed chamber. Production manifold, homemade air cleaner. I think the valves are larger than the GX head.

Actually, I think the pistons drop when you floor it. That's apperantly a draw back of constant velocity carbs.
I have to do this again. I've changed the damper oil from gear oil to 15w fork oil.
I'd like to snap pictures while i drive at a steady pace and see where the pistons are. Then actually stop and take notes. RPM, a/f, vac,
On that last video, I had forgotten what I had done by the time I got home.

ang94541's Video on YouTube

I used one of those tiny security/spy camaras hooked up to my video camara. I mounted the camara with 2 sided tape and used an old foglight for lighting.
This was in response to my question of "what the fark are those SU pistons doing ?!?!" Apparently I have a bit of a reversion problem. lol

Nice work Angelo. I didn't realize the SU-type pistons didn't open up all the way when you floor the pedal, they seem to open gradually as RPMs increase. But they close quickly.

Now that's got to be one of the most usefull video's that I have seen.
The reversion was worse at full throttle & at full engine speed, yet it still sounded like it was running fine.

The pistons were not bouncing about, so the dampers are working fine at least. Are you using a production type manifold, or a home made one?

- Dodgeman
Good question. What type of manifold is it? You have an A12A head on their, right?
